Short Courses on Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights, including HIV and AIDS

Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights, including HIV and AIDS

4 – 22 March 2024 (4.5 EC) € 2,390

Driven by international calls for more inclusive, human rights-based and gendered approaches, there is a shift in addressing the range of issues in sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) that affects everyone. This course explores the causes, consequences and patterns of SRHR issues, including sexual health, family planning, infertility, maternal and newborn health, abortion, adolescent health, child marriage, menstrual health, sex work, gender based violence and HIV. It explores the impact of COVID-19, among other global perspectives. Throughout the course, there is a particular focus on marginalised and vulnerable groups in various contexts, including emergency and fragile settings. It also discusses cross-cutting issues in gender, rights, sexuality, disability, stigma, ethics and mental health. In doing so, this course sets a foundation and identifies key considerations for the subsequent short courses on SRHR responses and SRHR policy and financing.

Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights: Organising Effective Responses

8 – 30 April 2024 (4.5 EC) € 2,390

Improving equitable access to and quality of sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) related services, including HIV and AIDS services, continues to be high on the global public health agenda. This course builds on current evidence to critically identify and analyse responses across health systems in low- and middle-income countries, including in humanitarian and fragile state settings. It also discusses equity, accountability and participation in the organisation of responses and services, with a focus on ensuring equitable access for all (vulnerable) groups and key populations. This course will enable you to translate principles of sound SRHR responses into practice.

and Rights: Policy, Governance and Financing

13 – 31 May 2024 (4 EC) € 2,240

What are the key issues in the good governance of sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) responses, including HIV? How can one negotiate the complex political and financial terrain when developing policies and strategic plans? Maternal health, family planning, adolescent health, safe abortion and HIV, and the policies and strategies that address these, are among the most internationalised and to some extent politicised of all health issues. In this course, you identify SRHR-related international agreements, development commitments, financial mechanisms and human rights mechanisms related to SRHR and analyse how these influence national policies and plans and vice versa. You will perform an SRHR strategic policy review from a multi-stakeholder perspective, addressing governance and financing structures and their implications for planning and managing the responses.
